A specialized, fragrance-free body moisturizer designed to soothe dry, itchy, and atopic skin using Ceramides for barrier repair and Polidocanol for immediate itch relief.
This formula is highly effective for dry, itchy, or eczema-prone skin. It features Ceramide NP, a lipid essential for restoring the skin barrier, and Glycerin, a premier humectant. The inclusion of Laureth-9 (Polidocanol) and Menthoxypropanediol provides immediate relief from itching and a cooling sensation. 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol is a specialized soothing agent that reduces stinging and burning. The base of Shea Butter derivatives (Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides) and Dimethicone ensures excellent moisture retention.
The product is fragrance-free, significantly reducing the risk of irritation for sensitive skin. It relies on Benzyl Alcohol and Ethylhexylglycerin for preservation, avoiding parabens and formaldehyde releasers. However, it does contain ethoxylated ingredients like PEG-100 Stearate and Laureth-9, which are generally safe but scrutinized in strict ‘clean beauty’ standards. Menthoxypropanediol is a menthol derivative; while soothing, it could potentially irritate broken skin in rare cases.
This is a superior therapeutic body moisturizer. It goes beyond simple hydration by incorporating specific active ingredients like Ceramides and Laureth-9 to address the root causes of dry, itchy skin (barrier damage and irritation). It is formulated without fragrance, making it a safe and high-performance choice for compromised skin barriers.
This formulation is a robust solution specifically engineered for those struggling with atopic dermatitis, eczema, or chronically itchy skin. It moves beyond simple hydration to address the root causes of discomfort and barrier dysfunction, making it more of a treatment product than a standard daily lotion. By focusing on the itch-scratch cycle, it aims to calm reactive skin quickly.
The inclusion of Ceramide NP is a standout feature. In healthy skin, ceramides form the mortar between skin cells; however, atopic skin often lacks these lipids, leading to cracks, irritation, and moisture loss. By replenishing them, this lotion helps rebuild the skin’s natural defense system. This barrier repair is supported by Arginine HCL, an amino acid that aids in skin recovery, and a host of fatty acids like Stearic Acid and Palmitic Acid that reinforce the lipid layer to keep irritants out.
What truly sets this product apart is the specific focus on sensory regulation. Laureth-9, often known as Polidocanol, acts as a mild local anesthetic to numb itching sensations on the surface. This is paired with Menthoxypropanediol, a synthetic derivative of menthol that provides a cooling sensation without the intense irritation sometimes associated with pure menthol. Additionally, 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol is included to dampen sensory overreaction, effectively soothing stinging and burning immediately upon application.
The base is heavily reliant on Glycerin, a gold-standard humectant that draws water into the skin. Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides and Isopropyl Palmitate function as rich emollients to smooth rough patches and lock that moisture in. The addition of Dimethicone adds a protective, breathable occlusion that prevents transepidermal water loss without clogging pores.
Ideally suited for reactive skin, the formula avoids traditional fragrances, which are common triggers for flare-ups. The texture is balanced by Distarch Phosphate, ensuring the rich cream doesn’t feel overly greasy or sticky. Overall, this is a highly effective treatment for managing the uncomfortable symptoms of atopic skin conditions.
